Back to School Nights this week!

Back to School nights are this week! The schedule for the week is:

-- Kindergarten and First Grade – Monday, August 20 from 6:00-7:00
-- Second and Third Grade – Tuesday, August 21 from 6:00-7:00
-- Fourth and Fifth Grade – Wednesday, August 22 from 6:00-7:30
-- Middle School – Thursday, August 23 from 6:00-7:30

We look forward to seeing all of our parents and caregivers this week. We have split the grades up in order to avoid too much congestion with the parking lot. Teachers have prepared presentations for parents to help them understand the routines of the classroom and the goals for the year. Students are not required to attend as it is more geared towards informing parents about the upcoming school year. Please plan to come for the entire scheduled time so that you are able to hear the entire presentation. 4th-7th grade will be following their students’ daily schedule. To be able to see each teacher, it is important to arrive at 6:00. 8th grade parents will attend a mandatory 8th grade meeting outlining all of the events and requirements for 8th grade. Please mark your calendars to attend.
